THIS IS A NEW THREAD FOR 2018. The previous thread is here.
***If you buy gift cards outside promotions, you will earn ZERO points.***



Accepted tender: Cash, credit, and debit. Also available are mobile/contactless payment (Apple Pay, etc.) and mobile loyalty (card barcode via app).

Summary
Stop & Shop (S&S), Giant Food Stores (Giant PA), and Giant Food (Giant MD) offer points for purchases which can be redeemed for a discount on the price paid per gallon on fuel sales at Shell and S&S/Giant fuel stations. $100* spend = 100 pts = 10c/gal discount. The particular rules vary between the three brands, and within Giant PA, the rules vary by location. Refer to the bottom of this wiki post for more information or links to official info from each brand.

You can earn gas points from both regular grocery shopping and gift card purchases (promotion only).

The grocery reward points (Go Rewards or Flexible Reward) can be transferred to either gas points (Fuel Rewards) or grocery points. The conversion rate is 100 points = $0.10/gallon or 100 points = $1 saving in grocery.

Additional Information

• A loyalty card is required to take advantage of gas rewards. They look like the above image and can be obtained either online (links at end of wiki) or in-person (at the customer service counter).

• The cards currently on promotion are listed in the current weekly circular and usually change every week. VISA and MC from Metabank or US Bank for $20-$500 (plus $5.95 fee) work. For GCs, if it meets the previous requirements, the packaging (blue, silver, birthday cake, etc.) doesn't matter! Check the issuing bank on the back.

• S&S and Giant (DC, DE, MD, and VA) allow you to redeem up to 1500 points ($1.50/gal) per fuel purchase, and points expire 30 days after the qualifying purchase. With Giant PA, there is no limit to the number of points redeemed at one time.

• Points earned in one program cannot be used in another program.

• Your ID may be required when buying gift cards. Your name and other info may also be recorded for purchases over a discretionary dollar value. Whether you're buying a $100 card or a $5k stack, your experience will vary.

• You can view your account online using the link at the bottom of the wiki.

• It's best to purchase gift cards at the customer service counter, but reports state that a single $500 gift card can be paid for at any register without an issue. Purchases over $1k will require manager authorisation with a physical key, which may slow down the queue. You can go to the Solution Center to save time and make things easier for everyone.

• Giant Eagle and Giant Food are different chains with different ownership, and this thread is not relevant to the former.

• If you have more points in your account than are redeemed for a fuel purchase, then the remaining points will stay in your account until their respective expiration date(s). For example, if you have 2500 points and debit the 1500 ($1.50/gal) maximum, you will have 1000 points left. Similar behavior if gas is ever below $1.50/gal before discount.

• If you don't receive eligible points with your purchase due to system or human error, you can have them retroactively added by customer service (in-store or by phone). Have your receipt and a copy of the advert. It can take up to 24 hours for keyed points to appear in your account.

just get an electric pump. No need to stand idle while filling gas

Just because it uses AA batteries.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm going to have her squeeze the cans, and I'll also get some nitrile gloves to see if that helps. We have 5 cans to help with flexibility, and some have already been outfitted with a side vent, so I'd rather not start all over if this works. Hopefully she'll drive safely...

Does anyone here know? I have a Giant Food GC (similar to Safeway GC). Can it be used to purchase other 3rd party GC (i.e. Amazon, eBay, bestbuy, gas GC, Happy GC, etc.)? I know this works for Safeway GC at Safeway stores but what about Giant GC at Giant Food stores?

my personal strategic petroleum reserve is down to 10 gallons, but i scored 2x $50 stop and shop gift cards on amazon with a 40% discount thanks to back-to-back amex+amazon promos. those can be used at s&s gas pumps, if necessary.

last year i was able to manage the great winter promo morass without paying for full-price gas. thanks to amex, i’ll be able to squeak it out again this year.

Similar situation here. Used my last 20 gallons on Tuesday. I ended up using my supply faster than anticipated.

Early March is likely the next Visa/MC promo, right? Thanks to Giant PA, I was able to get free gas through Jan. 31. I only keep 20 gallons of storage. I won't make it to March.

This promo (same as last week) goes until the 20th, judging by the fine print. Giant-PA includes at least one Happy variety, but 4x isn't worth it in my opinion.
